Tony Benn: Imperialism (Iraq/Afghan War)

[OLDINDIANS]

The greatest Prime Minister Britain never had and, apart from Guy Fawkes, the only honest man ever to enter the House of Commons.

[barnbersonol]

so Benn thinks it;'s OK for the int'l community to stand by and do nothing while a dictator murders his own ppl. OK, that his opinion, but why the hell did he go off murdering Germans?

[munkayman5]

@barnbersonol Watch it again. He said he was trained to resist the Germans should they occupy the UK.

[barnbersonol]

@munkayman5 He joined the RAF knowing the it had committed genocide and was still doing so, Dresden etc, the most shameful part of of our entire involvement in WW2 Some Pacifist.

[NymphZoic68]

The guy to Tony's left; Charlie wolf.. what a cunt

[smackbunny]

Elect that man President of the world!

[421ikoom]

one of the greatest men in modern history.

[aviomaster]

- Look You people in USA are brainwashed to the point of imagination ...

North Korea has not invaded anyone and is not bombing anyone ...

Look at USA ... They are threat to the world peace , Not North Korea , IF USA army pulled out of S.Korea  unification of the country would be faster and less painfull. for all Korean people.

[Obobbyss]

[regvarney]

@Obobbyss Thank fuck for that!

[slimithy12]

[territorialafghan]

[movement26]

When Tony said 1968 I think he mean't 1988, otherwise perfectly summed up.

[rugbyboy198127]

@movement26 yes agree haha when he said 68 i thought he was about to discuss czech rebublic uprising against the soviets haha - great man - legend - nowerdays politicians are nothing compared to the likes of tony!

[badattitude77769]

war is a game for rich faggots, born with a silver spoon, let them send their gay friends to war and suffer and sacrifice and kill men, women, and children for corporations, faggots, can anyone tell me if the control freaks are NOT faggots, total losers, i pray that their children are the opposite, major standup leaders, the opposite of mommy and daddy, will kick ass standing up for the beautiful innocent children, they will make a difference, joe kennedy was a total loser gangster, his childre

[Ricardo72]

Complaining about corporations and peoples suffering, and then using derogatory language like "gay" and "faggot" seems very ill-conceived and hypocritical. Help yourself evolve and wikipedia the word homophobia.

[bigsteelguy]

"If we can come up with money to kill people, then we can come up with money to help people"

Quote by Tony Benn

But i use that quote quite a bit.

[epiphany55]

Hmm, I don't trust this man, he seems to be using history to support his judgement.

[emeraldxpat]

Yes what a moronic thing to do - use evidence from history to inform ones judgement on the present....

[epiphany55]

I hope you sensed my sarcasm.

[revarney]

Tony Benn is an over educated ,rich ,public school know nothing,hypocrite.

[blujufirst]

Fuck off

[revarney]

"Fuck off".(???)Just like your fellow dickhead ,Wrong Again Benn, your words are piss poor and not worthy of a child.Come back when your nanny has taught you to behave like an adult.

[bapyou]

You wish.

[regvarney]

I wish what?

[bapyou]

Read your previous comment.

[regvarney]

I stand by what I wrote.What exactly is your point?

[bapyou]

Here is my point, ya stupid twit:

You are obviously as moronic as your comment was moronic. You wish everything in your comment is true; none of it is.

[regvarney]

All of my comment was true.Tony Benn is just another two faced poser.You sound a bit of a poser too.

[bapyou]

Tony Benn is World War 2 veteran and a solid leftist who, even at his advanced age, could put you in a wheel chair poste haste, you worthless tweezle.

[regvarney]

@bapyou Benn's love of Islamofascists will in the long run put everyone in wheelchairs and worse.He only fought in WW2 because it was the Nazis.If it had been the Russians he would of put out the red carpet for them!

[bapyou]

And you don't know Benn, obviously.

[regvarney]

Never went to public school and Oxford with him and not once has he invited me round to £10,000,000 mansion in Holland Park so no, I don't know him but he is a true arsehole and ocean going hypocrite.

[maxistviews]

@regvarney Are you talking about Tony Benn? The man who was born into Lordship and had to repeal it twice before they let him free of his title? The man who has a terraced house and has lived their for over 55 years within the grounds of his constituency? The man who is a socialist and stood up for working class rights? Who backed the trade unions in the mining strikes against Thatcher? The man who tried to introduce a referendum 3 times in Parliament in order to try to rid us of the Royals?

[regvarney]

@maxistviews Benn is a multi millionaire ,twofaced poser.And a born loser as you remind me how backed the NUM intheir doomed strike and his pathetic attempt to"rid us of the royals".The class system dealt him a pretty good hand eh?

[maxistviews]

@regvarney Yes it did. But that's where your own point can be played against you. Tony Benn is man with a strong code of ethics and morals. He is a socialist, therefore, he feels no-one should be born into a certain "class" or affluence, thus why he stripped himself of title of Lord. He thoroughly disbelieves in our class system and doesn't want to be part of it and as he was born into an affluent family, probably feels he has something to hand back to society. How is he two faced? please expand

[regvarney]

@maxistviews If your silver spoon hero really believes no-one should born into affluence why doesn't he sell his £15 million mansion in Holland Park and give all the money to the "needy".He disbelieves in the class system because he is embarassed to be born at the top of it.Just as you are.

[maxistviews]

@regvarney well personally i've not seen many upper class people working in bars and factories. But hey, if you think that's what the upper classes do, then yes, i am upper class. I'm sensing that you are a Tory supporting, right wing, working class man, who can't wait for the Conservatives to starve you of wealth and happiness further.

[regvarney]

@maxistviews I think you''ll find it was that twat Broon who was going to steal all my hard earned.

[TheElitehardcore]

LOVE TONY BENN, PURE WISDOM !

[MrKippers22]

Tony Benn is the greatest.

[regvarney]

@MrKippers22 You missed out the word tawt on your comment.

[religionpoisonsworld]

Why can't people understand that if the US propped up the Taliban or supported it it has extra reasons to remove it and it is long past time this ridiculous pacifist started being quiet

[sgsfdgfsdfsdfsddf]

father makes it son destroys it...

[blujufirst]

Good comment,

I for one am glad he's destroying it.

[aviomaster]

[basooome]

how pathetic they are, they seem to brush over these facts so conveniently...the biggest mass murderers in history are those who claim to be lovers of freedom today, within the framework of the most murderous system known to man - capitalism. Great point there!

[galt1776]

"No difference b/n a suicide bomber and a stealth bomber." I agree.

[ratonnewmex]
